[cobalt-users] /var/spool/mail/.forward --- Why...??

[David <david_dean@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Group,

I'm a little stumped... I've recently been noticing two lines regarding
".forward" files in my logs, off one of our machines. The other machines don't
seem to produce this message and I'm curious if anyone knows what's going on
here... I've checked under the /var/spool/mail/ directory for hidden .forward
files, but there's none there.. But nonetheless, everyday in the log files for
this one machine, we get the following two log entries:

Jun  9 15:36:49 sendmail[10569]: PAA10567: forward
/var/spool/mail/.forward.mechinename: World writable directory

Jun  9 15:36:49 sendmail[10569]: PAA10567: forward /var/spool/mail/.forward:
World writable directory

All Cobalt patches are installed and up-to-date.. IMAP is disabled and we only
allow POP3/SMTP connections. Is this common on RaQ3's? We have several and one
Ra4 but we don't see this log entry on any other boxes..

Thanks!
David
